I've been trying to get this actionscript 2.0 to work on more than one movieclip. It works fine on the one object:
[Code]...
When I try to add the code to other objects it only works on one. So can anyone explain to me how I can apply the code to multiple objects? I want more than just one object to rollover glow. Also, can it work on externally loading text moveclips (ie movieclip_mc.myText01_txt)?
when I press a button, the text loads into the still visible imageArea_mc text area.When a button is clicked, I have external swfs which contain 2 dynamic text boxes, named heading_txt and content_txt, loading into my main movie. They are receiving their data dynamically from an XML file. The problem I am having is that as soon as the button is clicked, the new data loads into the still visible text boxes. What I want to do (I think) is somehow tell the main movie to assign the appropriate text for each individual movie.
ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML.onLoad=function(ok){

I have a file that loads text from a notepad file externally. This is working fine. But when I try calling this animation from another flash file (using loadMovie), I do not see any dynamic text attached to the child file.

I'm trying to make movieclips into buttons. There's just a little animation where the words "The Scoop" and "The Shop" fade from white to green on a rollover and rollout. I have the timeline labeled over and out, but I can't seem to get the code right.
View 6 Replieshere is some AS3 code I wrote to have a bunch of buttons load some MoveClips. I am using a label to tell the button where to go to play the appropriate movie clip.
It all works fine, but it seems so repetitive and I keep reading about making the code more streamline, but I am having trouble doing just that.

how to make it so that it is always centered horizontally in the middle of the browser window. I am having issues making it so that it is centered vertically between 150pixels from the top to the bottom. This will make it so that if the window is small the swf will be right at y=150 but if the window is large it will have equal spacing between the top(150) and the bottom of the window.

I know how to build a simple slideshow. The particular slideshow that I'm working on has 50 images, and with all those images in the library, it makes the file 23MG and takes forever to load.Should I load the images externally? I know how to do that when using a thumbnail, or button, but how would I do that so that it loads in as a slideshow?
View 1 RepliesWhat's the proper way of loading an flv movie externally? I was doing a project in class which utilized tweenlite and loading of a couple videos externally in a folder. The swf worked fine and even the html looked fine, but once it was loaded into the schools server, the site didn't show. The professor is not really fond of actionscript, but she does have a grasp on HTML related issues. She told me it may have been a problem with the video loading file. This is the script I used to load the file in:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = {};

Im have 5 swf files that I want to play one after another on my home page.
I would like to have the first movie load and play and while that is going on have the others downloading in the background so they are ready to start when the first movie finishes.
After the 5th and last movie has played I would like it then to return to the first movie and just loop this process continually.
I have attached what I have at the moment which is a file called demand.fla that uses buttons to load in demand001, demand002, deamd003 etc.
Ideally i would like demand to load in each slide automatically and then have flashmove onto the next one after 5 seconds or so.

In the following application images are attaching from library as bitmap. But i want to load it externally.Actually what I am trying to do is that i want to divide an image in to several pieces and giving a disolve effect for transition. I got a code in which images are loading from the library as bitmap object. I changed it and loaded externally using bitmap, but i cant divide images in to small pieces. I think its due to the problem of loading as bitmap.i just want to modify the following code to load image externally.

I have a project that first loads a preloader swf then loads a main swf. Next, other swfs load externally into the main swf. One external swf is an xml driven mp3 player. The player runs fine when opened on it's own, however, when it is loaded into the main swf, the playlist isn't actually showing up, nor is the audio playing. The components, combobox, show up but playlist is not populated nor do the controls work. Below is my source code. Note: the playlist, mp3 files, and external swfs are all in the same directory.
Code for preloader swf
Select allvar l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("test_flash_16.swf"));

It seems to work fine when I uploaded it to my testing site. It loads the correct swf and I can click on my menu link (the only other functional button with the action scripting) to go to another swf and it transitions correctly. Here is the problem:
After clicking on the menu link and trying to click back on the home link (containing the same swf as what initially loads) to redisplay the first swf, nothing happens. Then the menu button is unfunctional after that as well.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to get transitions sequences between externally loading swf's in my flash site.
I have the jist of how to load external images into as3. One thing that I do not understand is how to pull all the images needed and store them so that when you want to view a specific image it is not loading the image again.
I need help on how to pull about 10 images externally and store them in to movieclips or something so that when I roll over a button to display this image it will just call the movieclip and display the movie clip with a preloaded image already. I am also doing this dynamically.
How can i import a .flv video externally to Flash using AS3?
View 3 RepliesI have an image viewer which has both next and prev buttons and a thumbnail menu at the bottom. They are both loading images from the same array, I need to get them to talk to one another.

i have a dynamic text field in an externally loaded swf. Its a digital clock so i want the numbers to update in the dynamic text field.this is not my exact code but it is very similar. i show below that i add the loader.swf, and once its loading is complete, i can work on its movieclips and add event listeners to its buttons, etc. but i cannot change the dynamic text field (its "classic text" set to "dynamic text"). after running this, the text just stays empty as it is in the external swf).here is the sample code:-
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("loader.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);

I have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)

var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);

I am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).
I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??...beacuse I have tryed and it didn't work....the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn't read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).[code]...
